Here I discuss the WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, HOW, AND WHY of healthy lifestyle change. Backed by research and witnessed in my clinical practice, I provide guidance to understand why you have struggled with quitting smoking or getting to the gym - and the tips to make better choices for your health in the future. #healthyliving #healthbehaviorchange #stagesof change #quitsmoking

I sit down with OB/GYN Dr Ingrid Paredes to discuss so many factors affecting my women patients - fertility, hormones, mood, PCOS, PPD, perimenopause and more! We discuss how mental health interacts with so many of the gynecologic aspects of womanhood. Are antidepressants okay during pregnancy? When should you seek postpartum help? Listen in. Follow her for more info @dr_ingrid_paredes at femcare OB/GYN in Miami.

Psychiatrist Dr Pati Guiribitey joins me to discuss trends in psychiatry and mental health - ADHD, Xanax, Antidepressants - the need for collaboration and therapy alongside medications - dispelling myths and false assumptions about psychiatric care.

I sit down with 3 colleagues to discuss a fictional case from differing perspectives. Myself and Gabriela Reyes both work from an eclectic/integrative theory but with different approaches and types of experiences. Tiffany Perez is bringing existential theory into her views from a trauma perspective. Bianca Gabay is newer to the team but with a rich life experience, working from a relational model of therapy. It's a speed dating event, but with therapists. Learn how therapy is for everyone! But, you need to find your match.

I discuss the books "Attached" and "The 5 Love Languages," in the context of finding healthy adult romantic relationships. I will show you that you are not doomed, but must use these labels and this information to inform your choice of partner. I will teach you different ways to communicate to take into account your attachment style and your partner's, including the male/female gender differences in heterosexual relationships.

People use that phrase, "trust your gut." But first we need to learn your gut, and know if it's giving you any good guidance...Then we need to make that information actionable. This episode gives you some tips.

When labeling yourself and your identity, do you need a villain to push against, so you can be the hero? Are you defining yourself by the opposing view? Does this help or hurt us?

I discuss the changing face of American healthcare with new political leaders in DC and a larger voice on social media of people wanting something different. However, we must face the tradeoffs - there are no free lunches, there is no gain without loss. The yearned for days of yore had perhaps less processed foods, but also a less mobile lifestyle and less opportunity for women in the workplace. People want to live longer but may not want to sacrifice the daily comforts that are the price of a longer lifespan. I attempt to shine a light on the systemic issue of health, on a personal as well as a societal level.

I try to be a good man and father. Maybe I don't always succeed. But what and who shaped me? What mentors, models and guides did I have? Perhaps this self-disclosure episode will offer insight into how I got here, and how you might seek to shape the little man you are raising? #becomingaman #parentingtips

Both PPD and midlife crises can be seen as depressive episodes requiring medication and therapy. Here we explore alternate ways of understanding and managing these significant lows anyone may face in their lives - are there beliefs and behaviors that should be considered along with the biologic factors after giving birth for women, or with age-related factors for men? In both cases, more accepting of reality of one's circumstances can be key!
